Your absolutions right this is just one of Peter Strauss great movie's and to make It more fantastic he really trained for this movie and that IS ALL HIM RUNNIG. He won award for this movie and he DESERVED HE WAS GREAT.You can tell he really trained hard to make this movie.I wish he can see the comment's on his movie's how much the people like them old & new movie's.
I forgot to say I use to be a runner in my 20's & 30's.I'm older now but Peter Strauss gave me the inspiration to run again & maybe run a race I know it will not be easy because it has ben year's that I ran. I got the ok from my doctor. A very inspirational actor a & movie. please wish me LUCK.

Every1 (even 2000+ years) should have a chance in Prison (apart from punks etc obviously) The Music? woooooooooooooooooo :). If no1 likes THIS music better goto Moon
I remember this from the ABC 4 pm movies that were on when I got home from grade school. I remember this song, Peter Strauss, Roger Mosley, Brian Dennehy and the stop watch. I wish they still made movies like this. It told a story without computer enhancements and super hero’s. Thank you for posting.

Saw this movie when I was a teenager, then heard the song on the radio on the way to a track meet. Had it going through my head the whole time. Blew away my personal best in the 400m by 4 seconds and cleaned the field. Wish I had a stopwatch to throw…Never ran that well again lol. Wish I'd tried to tap into that energy again. Great movie.
Wow 1979 ,i was 31,saw it on abc,i got it,but even better now ,the stop watch being thrown over the wall age does bring a tad of wisdom,just a tad mind you.

Those people who give this movie thumbs down don't know their elbow from their asses.
This is the greatest running movie even made.

This version of the song is what I listen to when I’m having trouble waking up in the early morning, CRANKED!
classic!!! is what i can say to this film. a truly inspirational piece of work.
Retired Tower CO…best and most realistic from back in da day.
fucking awesome
Srrauss is absolutely excellent at portraying emotion. Anyone see A Whale for the Killing? or, Brotherhood of the Rose?
